What If You Let Citizens Build Your Website?

Andrew Krzmarzick, GovLoop

Reality?No No No What do you do when yourhands are tied behind your back?

Relief? Innovators: Rabble Rousers: (the people who want to (the people who are experiment / explore new most, uh, vocal inapproaches to old problems) pushing for progress) Hackers: (the impatient people who take matters into their own hands) How do you harness the power of people who just want to make things better?

Vision Government: Citizens: Leverage the town’s Provide a place to energy and talent present their problems(beyond your time and effort) (and get them solved) Vendors: Find a forum to show their smarts (and build new business) Is there a virtuous cycle that you can create in your city?

Why I’m Here You: Me:innovators looking for Educator turned ideas and examples community manager GovLoop: knowledge network for 60,000 government innovators How can you replicate leading practices more quickly?

Why You’re Here• CityCamp: Road Trip from Chicago, IL to Raleigh, NC (Part I)• Hackathons: Brilliance in Baltimore, MD• Social Web: Mom-Daughter Tornado Turnaround in Joplin, MO• LocalWiki: Cross-Country from Davis, CA to Raleigh (Part II)
